@ezydriver1, thanks for your comment. I agree totally. I'm Canadian, I shot this video in Canada, I am not a redneck and I thought this thing was awesome. It's good entertainment and also serves as a highly memorable promo vehicle for JCB equipment which is what they use it for.

Whenever I see a ...
Whenever I see a video like this there are loads of "only rednecks would do this" type comments. However, over here in the UK this is seen as eccentric and amusing. Can't some of you see the humour in this? Backhoes aren't meant to do that, thats why its funny. Its a distraction from the norm and provides a moment of light humour. Its different. Stop judging things.
